L. BISHOP PLOWHEAD WITH DETACHABLE PLOWPOII'I" Filed June 23, 1925 Patented Sept 1 Lnonrnrrs iarsiror, of

hp ii a ieifii ii m a a2 s i 1. p; Ba e is to provide adetachable plow point where- 10 in the body portion therefor is adapted to be adjustably secured on the lower end of the plow stock or standard, the body portion being'provided withan undercut for receiving the upper portion of the plow point whereby the latter is held in proper position on the body portion.

A further object is to provide a detachable plow point of the above mentioned character which is simple in construction, inexpensive, and further adapted to the purposes for which the same is designated.

Other objects and advantages of this in vention will become apparent during the course of the following description- In the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, and in which'like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of the device embodying my invention showing the same secured on the lower end of the plowstock or standard. I a

Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof." 7 I Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail perspectiv view of the body portion, and v Fig. 4 is a similar view of the plow point; In the drawing wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown; the preferred embodiment of m invention, the numeral 1' desig nates the ower portion 'ofthe usual plow 1 stock or standard. A substantially rectangu-' lar shaped body'portion 2 is provided with the central longitudinally extending slot 3 whereby the body portion may be adjustably supported'on the lower endof the plow stockor share through the medium of the bolts 4 which extend through the slot and through lustrated at 5 and the juncture of the cut a suitable opening provided therefor in'the plow stock or standard. s

The lower portion of the body portion which extends below the lower end of the plow, stock or standard 1 is cut away as ilaway portion and the body portion is undercut as illustrated at G'for a purpose hereina er to be mo e ful y described..av The-cut 1 Fig. 2.

The upper por tion of the plow'point 8 is adaptedto fit;

against the cut away portion 5' and the up per edge of the plow point is beveled as il lustrated at 10 to. cooperate with the undercut 6in a manner as clearly illustrated in r The upper portion of the plow point is provldedwlth the openings 11 which are adapted to registenwith the openings-7 J formed in the cut away portion 50f the body portion 2 and suitable securing bolts 12 we tend through the registering openings and provide a means for detachably securing the, plow point in proper positi-ononwthe body portion. The heads of the bolts are adapted to begdisposed in the enlarged portions 13 provided'therefor at the upper ends of the openings 11 1 and the nuts 14: which are threaded on the threadedends of the bolts. engage the bottom of the cutaway portion 5 of the body portion 2. i Y

A plow point of the above mentioned construction may be readily and easily detached 1 from the body portion so as tofacilitate the resharpening of the point or replacing .the

same whenever it becomes'necessary. Furthermore; the provisionof the slot3 in. the

:bodyportion 2enables the latter to be readily adjusted on the o r end of the plow stock vor standard. I 1

The simplicity'in which my improvedde-" vice is constructed enables the parts to :be readily assembled and furthermore the plow point gwill at all times be maintained in proper position on the body portion when the device is in use. 1 VVhileI have shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that various changes in the size, shape and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the "advantages of the appended V claimr Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new 1s;;-.

In a plow, the combination of a plow stock, a plow body portion having a longitudinal slot formed therein whereby the same may be adjustably secured on thelower portion of the plow stock the lower portion of said body portion having its front. face cut away, an undercut provided at the juncture of the cut away portion and said body portion,a plow point having its upper portion adapted 10 to fit against thecut away portion of the body portion and being of substantially the" same thickness of the "cut away front face of the body portion, the upper edge of the plow point being beveled to cooperate with vidod'with registering openings, and securlng bolts extending therethrough.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
